Hots on   10 #1 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I'm sure you're aware of the hoo-hah over an advert for Gillette razors, so I won't link to it, which is loaded with feminine poison about how terrible males are. Insulting your primary market isn't a very smart move.  Men everywhere should now boycott Gillette products.

apelike   10 #2 Posted January 15, 2019 Boycotted them years ago when I bought a Braun electric razor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
max   13 #3 Posted January 15, 2019 Gillette are part of the Procter & Gamble behemoth and are therefore part of their ingenuous "we don't test our ingredients anywhere in the world except where required by law". As they sell most, if not all, of their product line in China which requires testing then it's a nonsense statement as it means all their ingredients must, at some point, be tested on animals.  So, congratulations to the OP and anyone else who boycotts Gillette's products, the animals thank you.

woodview   10 #4 Posted January 15, 2019 Isn't the bulk of the ad showing men doing the right thing? Breaking up a fight , stopping somebody jumping in on a woman. It's just showing the positives of being decent as opposed to the excesses of 70's type behaviour. I'll not be boycotting over this.

woodview   10 #7 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) You've not seen their following adverts - they will be going a step further. No longer will they peddle the notion that women should have smooth legs and underarms (etc.....) , complying with male dominated media imagery. They will encourage them to break free of those shackles and let the natural feminine hair growth sprout freely! I'll consider a boycott then 😛 Edited January 15, 2019 by woodview Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I've just looked on Boots and they looked similar, but they are different names so can't compare, but seemed much of a muchness??? What are you saying though?

Hes saying he will boycott Gillett because of advert but won't boycott them if they charge women more for razors.  I'm not boycotting them at all. 22 minutes ago, woodview said:   Edited January 15, 2019 by tinfoilhat Double post?

Halibut   12 #12 Posted January 15, 2019 The OP is clearly a misogynist who equates treating women fairly and decently with an assault on his distorted and enfeebled masculinity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
